Your Favorite Dive Bar

they closed down a while back, but it was 'the harbor light' in downtown bath, maine.

it was a fisherman bar/ local meat market for the fellows in hip waders and the women that love them. lots of yelling, and lots of gorilla milk (coffee brandy and milk) and lots of contry rock on the juke box when they didn't have a set of good 'ol boys coming out of the woods to play live for free budweiser and marlboros ..

the general idea was to go in and see how long you could sit at the bar before six guys surrounded you and started asking 'what's a little faggot like you was doing there' at which point you would have to either buy a round bud lites or get an ass kicking that would last as long as it took for the two police cruisers in the parking lot across the steet to empty and get inside to rescue you. you get bonus points for any amount of time you spend at the bar with your hair worn in any style other than under a hat and if your shoes aren't in some way water proofed ..

the upside was that if you could blend a little and not get half the bar stareing at you while they peeled the lables off their beer bottles, then you would see some crazy crazy shit (bar fights when the guys fighting are to drunk to stand and fat women who never learned the basics of proper makeup application doing a dirty dancing version of the macarana on the dance floor, etc) .. nothing beats watching three drunk rednecks in hip waders argue over who gets to take home a woman wearing sweatpants with coffee brandy stains on them. pure class, baby.
